Snowpiercer Season 1 Preview: Melanie Must Choose a Side in the Trial

We told you things on TNT's Snowpiercer weren't going to go the typically smooth "murder mystery" route with Layton (Daveed Diggs) and Melanie aka Mr. Wilford (Jennifer Connelly) gathering everyone together in the study to reveal the killer's identity. On the plus side, we found out who the killer was but not before Nikki paid the price. But while Erik was the triggerman, it was LJ (Annalise Basso) who was really pulling the strings. While the brakemen take care of Erik, LJ's fate is left up to the train's justice system, but not before she offered Layton help with the revolution in exchange for his silence. Of course, Melanie finds another way to "silence" Layton after he discovers who she really is. So while Layton spends a little downtime in stasis, Melanie readies for a trial (and growing tensions between the first and third class train cars) in the following preview images and promos for "Justice Never Boarded." One person not sold on the trial? Miss Audrey (Lena Hall), and she's about to let Melanie know about it.
